Filing through eBIRForms but didn't receive your Tax Return Receipt Confirmation (TRRC) email?

You're not alone. During busy filing periods, delayed or missing confirmation emails are a common concern for accountants and business owners.

The good news is that BIR Revenue Memorandum Circular No. 20-2026 recognizes that a screenshot of the "Submit Successful" confirmation can serve as proof of filing when the TRRC email is delayed.

💡 Our recommendation: Don't just capture the pop-up—capture the entire screen, including your computer's date and time. It creates a more complete record of when the filing was successfully submitted.

To make this easier, MPM Accounting automatically captures a full-screen submission screenshot and saves it together with the tax return and other filing documents. That way, your filing records stay organized and are easier to retrieve whenever you need them.

💸 **The most expensive payroll errors don't happen overnight.**

They begin as shortcuts.

A payroll officer is rushing to meet the payroll deadline and makes a small exception just to get everything finished on time.

The shortcut works.

Nobody complains...

Because everyone got paid **more**.

So the same shortcut is used again next payroll.

Months later, it has become "the way we've always done payroll."

By then, the company has unknowingly spent thousands - or even millions - in unnecessary payroll costs, and changing the process becomes difficult because employees have come to expect it.

This is one of the hidden costs of manual payroll processing that many businesses don't realize until it's too late.
